[1]One person can make a difference. Just ask Ryan Hreljac, who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: _______ in many developing countries.

[2] In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. Some even die from drinking bad water in some developing countries, his teacher says. So Ryan decided to act. He spoke to schools, churches, and clubs about his goal. The word spread, and donations began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2,000, enough to dig one well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief chose a location for the well in the village of Agweo in Africa.

[3] After the first well, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan says, “and one goal led to another.” Its website (www.ryanswell.ca) lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the awards he has received. “The most impressive people I’ve met are the other kids who want to help, too,” he says. “The only reason I accept awards is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”

[4] Asked if he ever feels discouraged that many people still lack good water, Ryan says, “It’s important to be an optimist. I had a small dream, and I stayed with it. Everybody can do something.”
